PHARMAC influenza vaccine issues
Bell Gully advised PHARMAC on a number of issues arising from a manufacturing error by the sole subsidised supplier of influenza vaccine to New Zealand.  The error, which was identified shortly before supplies of influenza vaccine for the New Zealand winter were supposed to be distributed, meant that New Zealand was left without supplies to immunise the sick and elderly against the prevalent strains of influenza. We advised on contractual issues associated with procuring replacement stock of influenza vaccine from several other suppliers and distribution of this replacement stock and also acted for PHARMAC against the manufacturer of the original vaccine, Sanofi Pasteur, to achieve a settlement.

Ministry of Health contracting for supply of pandemic influenza vaccine
Bell Gully advised the Ministry of Health on contractual issues in relation to securing supply of prototype and pandemic vaccine in the event of an influenza pandemic.

Department of Internal Affairs Electronic Monitoring System for gaming sector
Bell Gully advised the Department of Internal Affairs on contractual aspects of an initiative to bring greater accountability in community fundraising through the gaming sector in New Zealand. The Department signed a NZ$35million contract with gambling technology company Intralot New Zealand Limited for the provision and operation of an EMS for all gaming machines in pubs and clubs.

Ministry of Defence - Boeing 757 modifications
Bell Gully advised the Ministry of Defence over the modification of the two Boeing 757s owned by the Crown and operated by the Royal New Zealand Air Force.  The NZ$100 million modification programme saw us advise the Ministry of Defence on contractual issues and assisting in negotiating the three contracts required for the US-based work.
